Politics has quickly taken over your college career and made you irrationally angry about everything. What's worse is that no one ever warned you about the physical toll political science would have on your well-being before you signed up. You can't remember a time before you were angry, and thinking about life after college only makes you more irritated. Sometimes you manage to escape campus for a few hours on the weekends, but one quick scroll through Facebook can sour anyone's day off.
1. You have a strong opinion on everything.
Whether you're talking about U.S. intervention in Iraq or weighing the pros and cons of raising the minimum wage, you always have something to say.
2. You have a lot of opinions.
Not only do you have opinions on everything, but you also have a lot of them. Most of the time you're angry about keeping them bottled up inside because your roommate doesn't want to hear about insider trading in China.
3. You are endlessly frustrated with the two-party political structure of the U.S.
Unfortunately none of your non-major friends seem to share your irritation, so you're often left grumbling alone to yourself about its ineffectiveness.
4. You feel personally victimized every time your party is attacked.
Even if you're watching a Saturday Night Live sketch about a recent political debate, you can't help but feel resentful toward the show for poking fun at your party.
5. You inwardly cringe every time someone tells you they aren't registered to vote or won't be voting in the upcoming election.
This is mostly because the importance of voting has been drilled into your head since your first day of college classes. You're so invested in the electoral process that the thought of not voting makes you physically sick.
6.You get angry reading anyone else's opinions.
Even though you know everyone is entitled to their beliefs, some people are just wrong and you wish they were the ones not registered to vote.
7. You avoid talking about politics like the plague when you're home for breaks.
When politics eventually gets brought up over your Aunt's homemade pumpkin pie at Thanksgiving dinner, you know you're going to have to refrain from correcting your out-of-touch relatives and their friends.
8. You get angry just from reading Facebook.
Sometimes all it takes to push you over the edge is one glimpse at the headline of an article some person you never talked to in high school shared on Facebook, but once you've seen it there's no going back.
9. You sometimes get in seemingly endless arguments with other people over Twitter.
No matter how many times you explain it, @xchad4632x is never going to understand why the U.S. can't just send all of the illegal immigrants back to where they came from. For this reason, you often find yourself actively avoiding trending topics just to fight off the temptation of calling someone else out on their wrong opinions.
10. You are annoyed that you don't know your teacher's political beliefs.
You can guess most of them, but there's still two or three you're unsure of and it frustrates you to no end.
11. Politics has absorbed most of your life.
And despite all the complaining you do to your non-major friends, you wouldn't have it any other way.
